From the RCHS Student Handbook:
Juniors and seniors desiring to visit a college campus in order to explore possible enrollment are required to schedule these visits ahead of time. The process, along with required form and written parent’s/guardian permission, will insure an excused absence and provide for an efficient use of school time by the student and college representatives alike. 1-2 visits for Juniors, 2-3 visits for Seniors. However, administration may approve more visits if needed.
Congratulations to our CROP card winners this week! Since we had a short week with the snow we are waiting until next week to give out the Character Cup. All our students did a great job with all the snow and cold that was thrown in their way this week. We are proud of how well they have been doing with indoor recess and being respectful of our rules. Give all 200 of them a big hug and tell them they are doing great. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
